Eddie & Dave - real sorry to hear this... Went through it last year and things were better. But there is time for the mind to adjust too. Take advantage of it

Spinn good advice...

The Biotech sector is still expanding like crazy...
as soon as President OBAMA releases restrictions on stem cell research everything will go ballistic.

Just saw on the news... Microsoft cutting big time... despite good earnings?
Still working at the same local government job I've been at for 32 yrs. but I've been told I have to take a 1 week furlough. I'd gladly take a small hit to save someones job but because my job is grant funded there is no impact on the local budget. I have to take the hit for appearance sake!!...even though a majority of other depts. are untouched. Still wouldn't mind (more days fishing!) except it will effect my pending retirement...so everyone loses a weeks pay and I lose that and probably 15K in pension over my retirement!
